Court Grants Former Taraba Governor Darius Ishaku ₦150 Million Bail in Alleged ₦27bn Fraud Case
Former Governor of Taraba State, Darius Ishaku, has been granted bail in the sum of ₦150 million by Justice Sylvanus Oriji of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court.
Ishaku, who was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged ₦27 billion fraud, was granted bail on the condition that he provides two sureties residing in Abuja.
One of the sureties must be a director in the Federal Civil Service, with their addresses verified by the court registrar.
The EFCC, through its counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, did not oppose the bail, citing that Ishaku had previously been granted administrative bail and did not violate the terms.
Additionally, Justice Oriji ordered that both Ishaku and his co-defendant, Bello Hero, cannot travel out of the country without the court’s permission. The trial has been scheduled to begin on November 4, 2024.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.

“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
